Matt D Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Dave Meltzer on the LAW radio show last night said: There is a big story business wise coming out tomorrow That he couldnt talk about but was bracing for it mentally. WWE Network? Vince stepping down? MMA crap? If it's the same thing I heard about yesterday and was sworn to secrecy on, it's definitely not #1 or #2. #3 depends on your definition of "MMA crap." I can't really say more than that but it is big. (And if it's a separate story then this is going to be a big day) I think MMA crap would be defined as "anything that has to do with MMA with less than a 35% pro wrestling component."

Loss Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 There hasn't been a really big pro wrestling story since Chris Benoit killed his family, so if it's on the wrestling side, I'm betting it's hyperbole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I think MMA crap would be defined as "anything that has to do with MMA with less than a 35% pro wrestling component."Man, I don't know if it would hit 35%, but it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I think 35% is pretty damn reasonable. Alternatively, I think as someone who is a pro wrestling fan and doesn't care a lick about MMA, stories matter to me only so far as they DIRECTLY affect what will happen in wrestling in the future.

Coffey Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I assume it'll have something to do with Brock then? Whatever. If it's not about wrestling, I find it hard to make myself care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Not Brock. Meanwhile, HA: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 That's awesome. As far as the big news goes, yeah, if it's less than 35 % pro-wrestling and not Brock, I doubt I'll care much if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 If it's MMA related and not about Brock, it will just end up something most wrestling fans don't care about unless it's something out of left field like announcing Vince bought every MMA group other than UFC and will run against them.

jdw Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm not sure how to read Bix's comment on #3: 35% Pro Wrestling / 65% MMA or 65% Pro Wrestling / 35% MMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdw Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 If it's MMA and "big" (as in some game changing thing), then I'd care. If it's "big" in the sense of Viacom shutting down Bellator, I wouldn't care because that really isn't "big". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Or this: http://www.mmatorch.com/artman2/publish/Ot...cle_13507.shtml Which really isn't that big or surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have no idea what DREAM is, but I just watched a Doink promo I thought was awesome! At least I'm on the right board, title-wise, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Oh, it's not Dream. Nothing to do with Bellator or drug testing or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well, hopefully the news comes out soon so the speculation can stop and it can become its own thread. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blehschmidt Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Obviously the news is that having lost faith in Adam Pearce and Colt Cabana, the NWA is putting the title back on Dan Severn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovert Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Bless Tammy and everything but the narrative that Candido completely dragged her into Pro Wrestling has been shot to pieces by that PWI letter and then a few years later requesting footage & photos of Chris in the Observer ads section.
